On the day we, here in Melbourne, “take life back”, we also release an ultra meaningful campaign alongside the legends at @10feet_tall (for client Spinal Life) with the same sentiment. Thanks so much to pur interstate crew for making this happen up in Queensland while we couldn’t make it happen here. You’ve done a beautiful job with production, and it was our pleasure to manage the project and do the post.

We’re #hiring. Boo-yah!

If you're the kind of person who lives and breathes filmed content, loves pushing the boundaries of a concept, and wants to join a growing team that feels strengthened by the challenges presented by the pandemic, then we want to hear from you.

We're looking for someone to join the senior level of our team, to provide support and guidance to the business and production team, with knowledge across all areas of film production (and animation).

Sound like you, or someone you know? Apply now. Application link in bio, or enquire within via hiring@monsterandbear.com.au.

It’s been a little while since we’ve showcased a team member, but if you’ve been in touch with us during this lockdown then you’ve probably crossed paths with producer @jemrankin; the master of rejigging schedules, keeping up to date with Covid regulations and hosting Friday afternoon games nights (virtual OR in person). We can’t wait to be able to do more of those things in person again soon.

Big shoutout to our Brisbane crew getting the job done this weekend while metro VIC still remains locked down. look at that morning light will you? @hannahariotti @daniellejoy @calebware

Did you know that we’re not just a production company? We hire our humble home out to other production companies to shoot here too! Please give our facility page a follow over at @monsterandbearstudios to see sone of the amazing work that comes from the walls of our creative fun factory. Or heck, hire our space now that we’re back in the wild again. (Disclaimer: COVID safe shoots only). Get awn it.

Amadea Hare is an editor and animator at Monster & Bear by day, and karaoke queen by night. We love what this dry-humoured gal brings to the team in terms of her ability to tell stories across branded content, TVCs, documentaries and animations. More importantly… can’t wait for the day we hear you bust a tune 🎤 @aamadea

While we find ourselves in another lockdown, we’ll take the opportunity to edit our current projects, plan for our future ones, and cuddle our pets. Stay safe out there Melbourne.

To all the production companies Australia-wide (and other creative industries, and business owners) who have been navigating the ongoing uncertainty, cancellations, postponements, and the costs associated with them, may you too be back out there again soon.

Our team is very fortunate to be back on the road filming an intrastate tourism campaign, but not without its ongoing scheduling hurdles. One sunrise and sunset at a time Australia. You got this. 👊

We used to joke that Sam had a smouldering boy-band face in any behind the scenes photo he appeared in back in the day. These days, @s.k.mccarthy rocks the edit suite and - in our opinion - is one of the most dedicated and honed colourists in Melbourne. Always making our edits look shmicko (and stealing muesli bars from the unit cupboard after a lunchtime gym sesh), Sam is a very valued veteran member of the Monster & Bear team ☺️

We never got around to posting any of our gorgeous frames from the @aflwomens x @wefightforfair “Fair Go” community Series that we did a little way back. A very heartwarming project 🥰. Full clips and credits on our website.

This isn’t our first rodeo. Some of the @monsterandbear team making lockdown look good. Again. Fingers crossed we are back on set in no time. ☺️

We’re sad to see her go from the full-time team but know it won’t be the last time we cross paths. Wishing all the best to @madelineclairefrench as she moves onto life’s next adventure! (But since we’d already animated Maddie’s head and her obsession with tea, plants, acting and baths... we felt the world deserved to see it!)

Throwback to 8 years ago today (!) when @fionadalwood made these little stop motion critters for us. The OG monster and bear 🥰

An official farewell to @jessicagalea and @madelineclairefrench who both ended their M&B chapters this week. Wishing you both all the best on your next adventure/s, all your travels and your well earned career trajectories. You’ll be missed, talented gals!

He’s a little humble, so getting Sam (aka ‘The Huf’) to animate his own head and toot his own horn was a big ask. Nonetheless, here he is! The one and only @fuhleumas - next up in our animated ‘Meet The Team’ series!

New work for @movember. Swipe right for behind the scenes 😂.
